The EPA is being guided by a study it commissioned last year from the National Academies of Science and was published in August. The study is titled “Sustainability and the U.S. EPA” and cost taxpayers $700,000.

The purpose of the study was to show the EPA how to integrate sustainable development as “one of the key drivers within the regulatory responsibilities of the EPA.”

The authors of the study assert that it will be “providing guidance to EPA on how it might implement its existing statutory authority to contribute more fully to a more sustainable-development trajectory for the United States.”

The study is known as the “Green Book” inside the EPA and it is being used as a guide for EPA bureaucrats in going beyond the statutory authority granted the EPA.

According to George Russell with Fox News:

The study specifically notes that “although addressing economic issues is not a core part of EPA’s mission, it is explicitly part of the definition of sustainability.”

The experience of the European Union is deemed “particularly relevant” to achieving the sustainability goal.

That European strategy involves a virtually all-encompassing regulatory vision. The study notes that its priorities include “climate change and clean energy; sustainable transport; sustainable consumption and production; conservation and management of natural resources; public health; social inclusion, demography, and migration; and global poverty and sustainable development challenges.”

The authors of the study claim they have found legal authority for the EPA to enforce sustainable development without further congressional approval in the Environmental Policy Act of 1969, which states that the federal government has power to “foster and promote the general welfare” – which can mean giving the EPA total power over every aspect of our lives.

You have the dimwitted evil dictator in chief in the catbird seat and he will do everything possible to see the US is crippled or changed to a socialist 2nd class country. Hopefully the next election (if there is one) will put him and his backers back to nothingness.

Just make sure this President doesn't get a second term or the Agenda will be fulfilled. The House of Representatives recognize the threat by the EPA and they should defund them as a means of stopping their devious plan.

Scrap EVERY abbreviation that the federal government has come up with in the past 50 years , and become wealthy again with in the next 5 years ! Oh , also take a flame thrower to the FED and have the money making chores be back in the hands of the federal government , after we elect REAL HONEST inhabitants to do the jobs , at a realistic wage ! With REAL ACCOUNTABILITY !

To H*ll with the UN crap. This is America and we will do what we need to to take care of our country. We don't need some outsiders crawling up our backsides and any congressman who supports it without asking the people whom he/she works for is asking for someone to crawl up their backside. So sit down and shut up!!

This nothing new, it's another assault on our freedoms. It takes freedoms from us and transfers them, via the EPA, to the UN. We should withdraw from this body of pompous arses and boot them into the nearest body of water, their sole concern is the domination and total governance of the whole world!

The commie EPA and everyone in the country needs to read the sworn oath to office for the senate, the house and the vp. There is a clause in that oath to support and defend the Consitution " without purpose of evasion". This clause was specifically put in there to ensnare all those who circumvent the Constitution, as an act of TREASON. Congress cannot give that power to the EPA nor does the EPA have that power in any other light. Shut them down.

If there is anyone out there interested in saving the United States of America they have to know that we need to shut down , dismantle , and eliminate the EPA and get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the USA . These are all about the destruction of our constitutional safeguards to install a socialist one world government and our past presidents were to eager to sign on without knowing the implications or were in fact instramental in these treasonous activities . If you don't believe in conspiracies , study how this is coming about and you will be considerably enlightened .

NO, the UN is NOT run by 'dim-witted idiots'. It's run by Communists/Socialists/Islamists and other Globalists who want to destroy us and have a global gov't. Note that had the UNFCCC had been signed in Copenhagen, except that the Climategate emails were released, IMHO, Obama would have signed that treaty which contained the words 'global gov't' for the first time in history.

Wake Americans up to this threat, and PLEASE let the media and your congressfolk know that we the people KNOW and won't stand for their traitorous destruction of our nation.

Who among us voted for the UN to control our nation's destiny. This President waged war in Libya based upon their approval… not U.S. Congressional approval. We are being led by him into UN environmental regulation… energy production restrictions and gun control. The frosting on the cake is our president allowing unelected bureaucrats implement the globalist regulations.

The EPA is composed of 17,000 full-time employees every one dedicated to shutting down America's productive capability. The original intent of the agency may have been lauditory, but over the years it and its sister, the Endangered Species Act, have been captured by radicals intent upon destroying the nation. One of the first casualties of the EPA's war on America was the transfer of the entire Bose manufacturing facility from Massachusetts to Mexico, and that was just a beginning.

@ Richard,
Don't those 17,000 EPA employees realize that if there is no productive source of tax revenue that they will also be among the unemployed ? Gosh, I guess that is too simple for them to understand.

There is only one way to stop all this, for if I could convince all coal fired power plant to closed down NOW and turn out the lights, which is the EPA wants. But, beat them to the punch and with the millions of citizens without power screaming, point the finger at the EPA and the rest of the Shadow Government. Then all small business shut up shop and point to the OBAMA Socialist Government, then let them figure it out. Anyone that thinks, is creative and a doer, just quit and turn the country dark. It would not last long as the citizen would call for the impeachment of the present Obama Commissar government. When they scream that if you do not pass a bill it would closed down the Government, I say great, close down the Corruption from the top. Get rid of the Shadow governments like the EPA, FDA (murder for corporate profit inc.) TSA and it Gestapo swat teams. and on and on. Once they are gone we can start to rebuild this Republic and what made it great in the first place. Let us producer go on strike and let the parasites go to hell.

You are absolutely right. Take the moochers electricity and freebies away and they will turn on "O" like a bunch of rabid wolves. Two weeks Max. Lost income for this period would be cheap compared to the alternative.

WE need to get out of the UN and NATO, both jobs were done when the wall fell in Russia, they are no longer needed, we do not need to feed it with our Men or Our TAXES! We do not need some ass from some 3ed world country telling us how to live when his own shit hole country is in poverty all but for him which he steals all the money we send as American aid and uses it on his family and housing, (Sounds like Obamba there don't it??) We are not under UN or NATO ruling and it needs to stay that way! I for one consider Hillary Clinton and Hubby Bill as traitors to America with there world order bull shit, Obama too, but more there on his treasonous acts against America at every turn but especially for leaving the southern border open so we are invaded from the south and his hand in Fast and Furious in his attempt at taking the guns from American Citizens hands as all the World Order types are so set to do that and the sheep that follow them, Government handouts have taken there toil here and on that we need to not only defund the EPA and dissolve it but also Welfare and food stamps, have each family investigated and confirm the need for goverment aid, if they can work make them work, no more family's of one generation to the next on the goverment tit, also if on goverment assistance (Welfare and food stamps) any new birth cuts the amount paid in each, no more rewards for just producing babes! Make it were having a baby cuts the amount! stops 15 kids in a welfare house! If they can vacation, buy expensive cars or house's they don't need Government checks! We need to clean the corruption out of our goverment, all the 3 alphabetic organizations need looked at and most need to go away! Yes we do need to help the mentally and medical cases that cant work, but not the way we are now, the fraud is overflowing and needs an end put to it.
I for one want the NATO troops now training in America out of the country, till we rid ourselves of the Home land Security crowd and FEMA I sure don't want NATO at my back in this country! We need America back again and once and for all the World Order bunch we need to find and investigate and file charges against for treason against America and the Constitution, Some one needs to spend some time in Prison on this American Union bull shit. It is just the World Order crap with our separate chapter, it needs to end here! If it is not of the American Constitution it then needs changed to were it is! the Federal Reserve needs done away with and money printing given back to congress's authority as it was set up to be, screw the Rothschild's and there British banks backing it.

GadsenGurl, (Part 1)
There's a very tight correlation between unwillingness to "stop this" (as you say) in a politician, and in that politician's membership, sponsorship, stooge-ship, or any and all other participation in or affiliation with any of the following:
Bilderberg Group
Council on Foreign Relations
Trilateral Commission
North American Union
UN
International Monetary Fund
World Bank
World Court
Illuminati
Club of Rome
Skull and Bones
Henry Kissinger
David Rockefeller

There was a Part 2 to this, but apparently the moderators are protecting the one-world governance bunch. Apparently, they are blissfully unaware that they are feeding the mouth that bites them, and bites us along with them.

Part 2
soros
Rhodes "Scholars"
Socialist Party
Communist Party
All of the above are knee-deep in the complicity that dictates obama's every move, protects him from all consequences, and CONTROLS MOST OF THOSE WHO "CLAIM" to OPPOSE HIM! If we don't PERMANENTLY RETIRE EVERY STINKING POLITICIAN who has ANY ASSOCIATION WHATSOEVER with ANY of the above, the United States of America is TOAST. For God's sake, LEARN WHO THESE DEMONS ARE and vote them OUT! Also, PLEASE do the "due diligence" to find out the names of the VERY FEW candidates who actually DO NOT have any of these HEINOUS ASSOCIATIONS, and vote FOR them. BUT, DON'T be surprised that the latter are being marginalized by the party leaderships that SHOULD BE SUPPORTING THEM WITH THEIR VERY LIVES, and are being CRUCIFIED by the soros-supported media.

This article doesn’t come close to addressing the real danger of UN Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development)….google it….read all the links….when it started here in states (some 20yrs ago). Get informed thru info in links. Get involved in your local area ie: take what you learn from links….bring it to local council members, judges, state reps & senators (not U.S.) running for office in next election…ask them what they know about Agenda 21….tell them how they answer your question depends on whether or not they will get your vote..do it face to face. That’s what I’ve been doing in my county. Told one judge candidate I met last Fri I cannot vote for her because she’s not informed. Educate/inform everyone you know. Can stop/stall this on local level…but it takes diligence/determination to go face-to-face.

Well said lindar. I have posted several links on our website under the " Agenda 21 news tab" check it out . http://www.wilsoncountypatriots.com. We are fighting it on the local level and we are educating all of our neighbors to do the same and spread the word.

everyone here says get rid of EPA,UN ETC but how do we convince the other side that they are wrong in supporting all these schemes to ruin our country? we need to work out a solution to rid our country of this foreign criminal that runs our country,and make these democrats understand what is going on.otherwise we are surely doomed. they are also talking martial law soon if we like it or not it is a reality,then our friends in china russia will slowly take over and enslaven each and every one of us,so hold on 2012 is allmost here it's going to be a rough ride ahead.

It is not the job of the EPA to work on sustainable development.
It seems every agency under the Obama administration thinks it needs to control everyone's life.
We need smaller government with less entitlement programs and less control of our lives.
Can't wait for 2012 and to get rid of these control mongers.

This UN Agenda 21 will affect every area of our lives, plus it is working toward a one world government. I read an article about it in a UN paper dated 2002, and they wanted it completed in 10 years, which is 2012. If you hear smart growth, social justice, sustainable, wetlands, wildlands just know they're talking about the AGENDA. We will lose our soviernty. You can find the UN document on a google search. Another site "democrats against agenda 21" is another good one, so isn;t only conservatives very concerned. They will have certain corridors we will be allowed to live in, wild animals will have more rights then we will. They don't want private property, single dwelling because isn't equitable, not everyone can afford to buy, then sell & make a profit. This won't be about personal liberty, but communitee. This is really share the wealth. The excuse behind it is global warming. Another thing they don't want is our free market system, want public=private partnership. Totally communist agenda.

ALL THE MORE REASON TO VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!! RESTORE THE REPUBLIC AND ITS CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES. PAUL CAMPAIGNS ON ELIMINATING THE EPA.DEPT. OF ENERGY,THE FDA, DEPT OF EDUCATION, AND THE COMMUNIST HOMELAND INSECURITYS' TSA THAT INSISTS ON GROPING GRANNY, AND PUTTING THEIR "FILTHY HANDS" DOWN OUR CHILDRENS PANTS!! NOT TO MENTION REMOVING COLOSTOMY BAGS AND BACK BRACES FROM FRAIL PASSENGERS IN WHEELCHAIRS, NO, THINGS ARE NOT LOOKING SO GOOD FOR THE SELF RIGHTIOUS ANNOINTED ONE, OBAMA. GOD WHAT A HORRIBLE PRANK PERPETRATED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHAT A WASTE OF OUR TIME ENERGY,AND MONEY,AND WHAT A JOKE HE IS, HE HAD NO INTENTION OF EVER BEING "PRESIDENT" HIS INTENTIONS WERE NEVER HONORABLE. HE IS A MONUMENTAL FAILURE, AND EMBARASSMENT. "RON PAUL 2012" CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH.

I love what Ron Paul stands for but if enough of us vote Paul we will be responsible for giving "O" the opportunity he needs to finish this country off. I'm sorry, I just couldn't think of doing that to my children.

Has anyone noticed Newt Gingrich preaching about the threat to our liberty and sovereignty that is posed by Agenda 21. While that sounds really good, I feel one big question nagging away at the back of my mind: isn't he STILL a member of the CFR? Isn't CFR an integral part of the one-world-governance movement as a whole? Does it not then follow that he is talking out of both sides of his mouth? Someone out there please tell me: WHERE HAVE I ERRED IN MY LOGIC?

It’s time for the US to withdraw from the United Nations. The UN agenda is NOT good for the US. I agree with some of the above comments in regard to the “Alphabet agencies”, as well as the Department of Education. They should ALL be stripped of their statutory authority and be defunded. It’s bad enough we have Congress who are elected officials make decisions that affect us. But, to have an official/Director apppointed by the sitting President making decisions and regulations is ridiculous. They are not looking out for the good, or the will of the people. They are strictly concerned with the agenda of the present administration.

Socialist agenda being implemented by EPA Agenda 21, is an takeover of local government regulating all areas of our lives! Where you live, what you eat, transportation, housing, and more, along with control of medical with Obama Care Constitution being ignored! Objective is to integrate economic, social and environmental policies in order to achieve reduced consumption, social equity (redistribute wealth), and the preservation and restoration of biodiversity. Sustainablists insist that every societal decision be based on environmental impact, focusing on three components; global land use, global education, and global population control and reduction. First introduced to the world in the pages of a 1987 repot (Our Common Future) produced by the United Nations World Commission on Environmental and Development, authored by Gro Harlem Brundtland, VP of the World Socialist Party. The term was first offered as official UN Policy in 1992, in a document called UN Sustainable Development Agenda 21, issued at the UN's Earth Summit, today referred to simply as Agenda 21.

Part of Agenda 21 at UN Land cannot be treated as and ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principle instrument of accumulation of wealth therefore contributes to social justice" -from the report from the 1976 UN's Habitat I Conference. "Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class- involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work air conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable." -Maurice Strong Secretary General of the UN's Earth Summit, 1992.
